Movie Info

It's been three years since the Barden Bellas (Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson) became the first all-female group to win a national title. All seems well until a botched Lincoln Center performance for the president leads to a scandal that strips them of their performing duties, causing internal tension and strife. With the world championships on the horizon in Copenhagen, Denmark, the women must get their act together for their one and only shot at redemption.

Audience Reviews for Pitch Perfect 2

  • Jun 28, 2022
    An odd, mostly unnecessary, sometimes charming sequel that misses more marks than it makes. That's not to say it doesn't hit any of its marks, but whereas the original was consistently charming and at the very least likable, this one is far to often groan-inducing and at worst kind of offensive. There is still some fun to be had here, and if you're a fan of the series it's worth at least one watch, I just don't think I'll be rewatching it the way I could see myself rewatching the original.

    I don't know if I'm just getting old, or if comedies lately are just that bland and generic. This was just okay background material. Some nice songs (and some irritating ones). Rebel Wilson is also highly irritating here. I don't mind her, and she's okay in some movies, but I don't think she really fits here. The story is just a rehash of the first one. All so so. Glad it was a free rental.

    I was never a fan of the Pitch Perfect storyline but the music has always been good. The first one is just slightly better, though.
